Tēnā koutou katoa.  

Ka tū au ki te tuku mihi ki a koutou.    

Ko Hussain ko Shameem ko Jaleel ko Salma ōku kaumātua. 

Ko Shahela tōku whaea. 

Ko Shakeel tōku matua.  

Ko Mariam tōku ingoa.  

Nō India au.  

Kei Waitakere tōku kāinga. 

Nō reira tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou,

tēnā koutou katoa.

Kia ora,

​

I grew up living between the UK and the Middle East before settling in Aotearoa. Being exposed to so many diverse cultures and absorbing all the knowledge I could has been an integral part of forming who I am today.

 

I have had the privilege of living in Aotearoa for 10 years now, I’ve gone to school, university, and gotten married in this beautiful country.

 

Community work has always been a part of my life, whether it was helping at the Sunday school tuckshop or planning national conferences for all the Muslim Student Associations.

 

I feel very blessed to be working alongside a team and organisation that cares so much about the wellbeing of all members of the Ōtautahi community. 

Sending peace,
 

Mariam Qureshi.
